Default Re: Weapon Adaptation [MA]

So... I don't actually need to buy the Glaive Fighting style and waste a point in Polearm skill? I just need to buff up my Quarterstaff style, and then buy Style Adaptation (Quarterstaff to Glaive Fighting) and Weapon Adaptation (Polearm to Staff)? This will justify buying the Hook (Staff) technique?

Interesting. A couple of points saved, if nothing else...

So this is valid, and lets me use the buffed Staff skill with a bill?:

Style Familiarity (Quarterstaff)
Style Adaptation (Quarterstaff to Glaive Fighting)
Weapon Adaptation (Polearm to Staff)
Grip Mastery (Staff)
Staff- at some ridiculous level
Hook (Staff)- at whatever level
Various other techniques from both Quarterstaff and Glaive Fighting styles
Note: SInce that is two non-style perks I need 40 points in Quarterstaff style to justify them, per MA p.49. So, just to pull this off at all, this character has to be Death incarnate with a stick in his hand...

Or do I need Style Familiarity (Glaive Fighting) and Wrestling, too? (Frankly, I'm going to get Wrestling anyway, but for the sake of argument?) Frankly, that would seem silly in the setting of Style Adaptation (All), because then it would require Style Familiarity for every known style! So, I assume that it is not required. After all, I'm still fighting "like a quarterstaff guy," albeit with a bill.
